The Isolation Cycle

Slowly applying her make up she tries to hide the puffy blotches around her eyes
Once again her heart lays heavy with the burden of her past actions
The mistakes she made, the people she hurt
But inevitably the one she hurt the most was herself through her own actions.
She breaths a sigh and tries to pull herself together
She doesn’t want to spend yet another day indoors hiding in regret,
Withdrawn from people and loved ones through self loathing.
But these days come when she thinks she’s on top of the world
She smiles and with boundless energy appears like nothing hurts
But deep down she hurts.
She hurts so badly sometimes that she wants to run away
Nothing or no one can release her pain at these times.
Self imprisoned she fights her memories and mistakes
She cries and tears at her flesh as if it’s the one who hurt her so much in the past
An eruption of anger so strong she feels insane and uncontrolled
Sometimes she forgets who she is anymore
Then it passes, back to hiding her tears, covering the blotches and off she goes with a smile
Back into the world that she cannot understand.
There never seems to be a way out from that disabling emotion but to hide!
Later that day she returns, still burdened she cries out at the walls
‘Why won’t this pain go away?’
She feels herself screaming inside and her body shakes
So angry, so low and desperate she reaches out for the bottle
Gulping the red wine as she dreams of reprieve
But even after a drink she knows the pain will just come back to her in her dreams
Countless days pass and she wakes up in emotional turmoil
Staring intently at the glass of red wine she starts to wonder
‘What am I doing this for? Why am I bothering?’
But a few glasses later she knows why she’s done it
She knows why she has abused herself once again
She’s done it cos she hates herself.
She finishes off the past abusers work all on her own.
An empty cigarette packet drops to the floor as she collapses on her bed
Her head empty and body weak with exhaustion and the toxins running through her
‘I will never get there’ she whimpers to herself as she cuddles the blankets
This world just seems to much sometimes for her
So she drifts into slumber and the dreams start again
The next day she awakes and it all feels just like another terrible dream.
‘Never again’ she moans as she answers the door to her infant son
He cuddles her and she mentally kicks herself for being so selfish
It’s the boy that needs her; she has no time to feel her pain anymore,
And once again repression starts until that dark day comes for her to go back into her drunken isolation.

This is such a great poem! Good job! The emotions were portrayedd amazingly. The title is unique and creative. The moral behind the poem is strong and shows through to the readers, but not so much as to not let themwonder for a bit. Great Write.

| THis saddens me. Great write. Why do things like this have to happen to people? Good or bad, no one deserves this. You are very in touch with expressing emotions. |

goodness what a great poem I loved the title
and I loved how beautifully you crafted this
work of art. I have never been abused but at
the same time I can relate to the hiding
inside, forcing loneliness on yourself, and
drinking to try and disguise the pain. I salute
you for sharing this poem with us it was
honest and showed your deepest wounds. A
gem of a write if there ever was one.
